Residents have been flocking to Collin County in droves for the past several years for many reasons. But one of the main reasons several residents said helped them decide to move to the area was the quality schools the county has to offer.

With strong school districts like Allen ISD, McKinney ISD and Frisco ISD, all which boast champion athletic teams, recognized academic programs and competitive extra-curricular activities, it’s no wonder the county has some of the area’s highest ranked neighborhoods for good schools, according to a recent analysis by The Dallas Morning News.

The top six neighborhoods for schools are all served by Frisco ISD schools. The top area is actually not in Frisco; it’s in Plano. However, three FISD schools, Anderson Elementary, Fowler Middle and Liberty High schools, serve the residents of that Plano neighborhood.

The No. 2 ranked neighborhood falls within Frisco and is served by Sem and Tadlock elementary schools, Roach Middle and Maus Middle schools and Heritage High School.

Neighborsgo reporter Hannah DeClerk took a closer look at why these schools were ranked so high on the list. Read the story on Page 14.
